Strange

Famous quotes containing the word strange:

“A strange effect of marriage, such as the nineteenth century has made it! The boredom of married life inevitably destroys love, when love has preceded marriage. And yet, as a philosopher has observed, it speedily brings about, among people who are rich enough not to have to work, an intense boredom with all quiet forms of enjoyment. And it is only dried up hearts, among women, that it does not predispose to love.”
—Stendhal [Marie Henri Beyle] (1783–1842)

“It seems to me most strange that men should fear,
Seeing that death, a necessary end,
Will come when it will come.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“A stranger may easily detect what is strange to the oldest inhabitant, for the strange is his province.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
